"I will be sure to wear gloves and wash my hands when I change my cat's litter box.". D. "I will need to take my clothes to the dry cleaners to sterilize them.".

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

This statement indicates an understanding of the teaching because it shows that the client is aware of the importance of reducing their risk of infection by taking precautions when handling pet waste.

Choice A is wrong because while increasing the amount of fresh fruits and vegetables consumed is a healthy dietary choice, it does not demonstrate an understanding of the discharge teaching for a client with AIDS.
Choice B is wrong because while cleaning up areas soiled with body fluids is important, using alcohol and immediately disposing of the trash is not necessary.
Choice D is wrong because taking clothes to the dry cleaners to sterilize them is not necessary for a client with AIDS.
